Warm Haven Grant Programme
The cost of living continues to affect thousands of families in Newham. In recognition of this, we have decided to offer another year of the Warm Haven grants. This year with a grant pot of £24,000 and the programme will go live in August 2024.
Grants of up to £2,000 will be available to voluntary, community and faith organisations who can support the borough’s response to the growing pressures of the cost of living. In particular, this is to help set up or support a Warm Haven provision.
Please visit back in early August 2024 when the grant programme opens again.
